Bringing Emotions to the Path of Awakening

While our emotions often delight and invigorate us, when examined we find them to be fleeting and unreliable. On a subtle level, the emotions often obscure the abiding peaceful awareness that lies at the very heart of each of us. During this weekend retreat with Senior Tergar instructor Tim Olmsted, we’ll discover how to use the energy and richness of our emotional life as the foundation for the journey to awakening. We’ll learn to bring emotions to the entire arc of the path – as the basis for inner peace and equanimity, as a source of radiant compassion, and finally, as brilliant wisdom.

This weekend program is open to anyone, experienced meditators and those who are just starting out. For those new to meditation, you’ll be requested to watch this excellent four-part video series, Introduction to Meditation, by Mingyur Rinpoche prior to the weekend.
